Bahrain court jails man for insulting Prophet’s wife

DUBAI: A Bahraini court on Sunday sentenced a Shiite Muslim to two years in jail for insulting a wife of Prophet Mohammed (praise be upon him), Aisha, who is revered by Sunnis, on the Internet.
The criminal court found the unnamed 19-year-old man guilty of “defaming” Aisha, the general prosecution said in a statement, describing the defendant as having “deviated thoughts.”
It said the man wrote “phrases that are too dirty and degrading to mention, defaming the mother of the believers, Aisha,” and added that a police probe led to his arrest.
